At 6-7 and 245, Lynch ran the 40-yard dash in 4.86 seconds with a 36-inch vertical leap. While Lynch is still working on refining his overall game and had some raw moments during a throwing session, he's an intriguing quarterback with a ton of upside.

Lynch was among the quarterbacks, including Penn State's Christian Hackenberg, who met with the Texans. He also had meetings with Cleveland, Dallas, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New York Jets, Buffalo, Kansas City, New Orleans and Arizona.

"I've always relied on my athletic ability with my size and arm strength in college," Lynch said. "I know that's going to be different in the NFL. Those guys are a lot faster, and those windows are a lot smaller, and those defenses do a lot more tricky stuff than they do in college.

"When I finally get to minicamp or rookie camp, I'll know how different it is. But it's obviously going to take some time to adjust. But I'm ready and excited for it."

Ramsey wants to be No. 1 pick

Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey is a Tennessee native who wants the Titans to take him with the first overall pick.

The Titans need defensive backs, and Ramsey (6-1, 202) is the best. He can play cornerback or free safety.

"I want to be in that No. 1 spot," Ramsey said. "I'm a competitor. That's what I'm going for.

"I think they can see me playing whatever fits their team. I played every position in the secondary, so I'm versatile, probably the most versatile DB in this draft."

Ramsey has no preference as to which position he plays.

"I can play where they need me," he said. "I feel like I can work outside, in the slot or play deep. I have a lot to learn, have to study receivers, learn the defense I'm in. But I think if I put the work in I'll be able to move around if they need me to."

Bosa exhibitshis versatility

Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa has been the top-rated prospect on most draft boards before the combine. He had a good workout Sunday as a defensive lineman. He also worked out as a linebacker because so many teams play a 3-4.

Bosa (6-5, 269) ran the 40 in 4.86. The scouts expected more quickness, but he impressed with a 4.21 20-yard shuttle and a 6.89 three-cone drill. He also had a 10-foot broad jump and a 32-inch vertical leap.

Bosa's father, Boston College defensive end John Bosa, was selected 16th overall by Miami in 1987.

"He's kind of just let me do my own thing," Bosa said. "I've got great people around me. He's surrounded me with the best agents, the best trainers - with all the best people.

"I really trust him with everything's he's done for me in this process."

Only three crack 4.4 in the 40

Speed gets the most attention at the combine, and only three players have run the 40-yard dash in less than 4.0.

The defensive backs run Monday, so they could add to the total because they're always among the fastest players.

Georgia running back Keith Marshall is the fastest prospect so far, running a 4.31. Notre Dame receiver Will Fuller added a 4.32 and TCU receiver Kolby Listenbee a 4.39.

NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock calls this group of receivers the slowest he has seen.

Drug issue hangsover Spence

Eastern Kentucky defensive end/outside linebacker Noah Spence needed a strong performance at the combine and in his interviews. After dominating the Senior Bowl as a pass rusher, he ran an ordinary time of 4.80 in the 40-yard dash.

Spence, kicked out of Ohio State for failed drug tests, is now facing a dip in his draft stock. He delivered a 35-inch vertical leap, second best among defensive ends.

"With anybody with a substance-abuse problem that they've had, I feel like they're pretty leery about it," Spence said. "I'm still being drug tested to this day. It shows that I've grown from the situation, and I've become a better person."

Odds and ends

Baylor defensive tackle Andrew Billings, a junior who is 20, is 6-1, 311. He ran the 40 in 5.05 and benched 225 pounds 31 times. He should be a first-round pick. … Texas A&M junior offensive tackle Germain Ifedi, a former Westside standout who declared early for the draft, had 20 formal interviews at the combine. He's expected to be taken in the second round. … Grand Valley State defensive end Matt Judon, who had 20 sacks last season - more than anyone in college - put on an impressive show Sunday. Judon ran a 4.73, had a 35-inch vertical leap and bench pressed 225 pounds 30 times. He's no longer a sleeper.
